He starts the video with Dracula, my favorite. But he begins with "Dracula only gets 5 out of 10 for aesthetics." What? Thumbs down. Unsubbed. Un-friended on social media. You will not get a Christmas card from me this year! :D

just rename your channel to Wolf/g/ang already my dude

Coming from the the medical field, let me add some (possible) lore to the Dracula scheme: assuming the guy was indeed hospitalized for pankreatitis, I would blame the food for the colors. I can assure you that there is no blander, non-pleasing and overall pale greyish food than the special diet designed for pankreas patients. In adults you will likely never see a more disappointed facial expression than when the patient lifts up the cover over his food for the first time only to discover a variety of bland toast, curd, cottage cheese, grey bread, flour soup or oats. Under those circumstances, I wonder why the colors are not popping more and have a more extreme contrast. Obviously I have not even finished watching, but .. nice one!

I am happy to hear that you like Nord so much 😊 Good to see that you clarify that this is your personal opinion with your own evaluation criteria instead of producing another clickbait listing of “the best themes“. It's important to always keep in mind that everyone has different preferences and that this fact is the reason why themes exist at all.

One Dark gang. Though sadly it's not supported everywhere

Aww... where Molokai/Monokai at? :(

Nord gang

The best color scheme is the one you created for your own :p

Nice vid. Monokai color scheme (the default one in Sublime Text) is a personal favourite. Hope you'll give it a chance on your second part (if any).

Once I heard your comparison of Dracula and Gruvbox and your preferences, I realized that what you rate as something you like is just the reverse for me. I want the saturation in colors and have difficulty with less saturated ones like in Gruvbox. "Easy on the eyes" are in the eyes of the beholder.

Solarized is the most comfortable to my eyes. When you are working 9+ hours a day your eyes will care more about comfort than aesthetics.

Was a nord guy until I switched to Gruvbox. Now everything is gruvbox, KDE global theme onwards.

You know it's a serious colour scheme when they have a paid option.

I really like your inclusion of the "lore" factor for the color schemes, very interesting :)

My favourite theme is Monokai and I use it on my entire system. I use it with a different background color of #282828 though instead of the default one. Default is fine, I just kinda prefer it like this personally. Second favourite is gruvbox. Just all around good theme, personally I think it's kind of a better looking solarized theme.

Light color themes don't seem to get much love so I want to give a shoutout to Two Firewatch which has a great light theme. The dark one seems cool as well. But I think it's only available for vim.

Solarized-Dark is the only reason I was able to complete my first novel. #Solarized4Life

Thank you so much for showing me Nord, It's my new favourite.

One Dark is personally my favorite. I'm surprised you didn't cover it.

You know, maybe nobody asked for a review of color schemes, but at least I really enjoyed it. Don't know what it is, but something in your videos just makes them, genuine, I guess. Really glad I've stumbled upon your channel. Thanks for effort and keep it up!)

For me, the best color scheme always has been Zenburn, and probably always will be! (even though it's not that popular)

OG Monokai classic that sublime text used to ship with as default is amazing!

I like Horizon and ayu but sometimes I also use a monochromatic color scheme where important keywords are more highlighted and less important elements are de-emphasized using monochromatic colors (e.g. gray or toned).

Okay I work as a software engineer and I’ve genuinely never had any strong feelings about colour schemes, apart from that dark themes are better. What is the advantage to using a dark grey background colour as opposed to pure black?

Dude the audio is fine, don't sweat it. I was bored some time ago and made a shell script to download and install some terminal themes, I particularly like Earthsong.

I personally love dracula because it revolves around purple and I love this color. I understand that it may be too contrasted for some, but for me it's a requirement, I love colorful, saturated and yet pleasant colorschemes, it helps with the mood and well dracula achieves just that.

What is this fancy markdown server preview thingy?

Nord+Nordic-Dark+Newaita icons. Boom

I end up with gruvbox in vim. I don't like it. I feels like it's not beautiful. But I choose it because somehow, my eyes doesn't hurt on that color theme.

I'm not sure if we can call Arc-Dark a color scheme since it's a gtk theme but I use it's colors in my terminal and pretty much anywhere else

OneDark not working properly in transparent mode, Dracula support for transparent is way better.

Dracula ❤️ Close next is Nord, also Solarized Dark is pretty neat 😊

You're wrong about many aspects of gruvbox. Gruvbox has the same color properties as solarized in which the light and dark themes are equidistant from the neutral point. Additionally, all the colors are evenly geometrically separated. There is also a specification for the specific RGB values. There is also lore behind it. It's based on solarized but it's optimized for a warmer color scheme to reduce eye fatigue. This is all on the Github.

Will you review coding fonts? Hack is my favorite.

I started off with Solarized but got headaches. After trying a hundred or so color schemes, the five I use (in VS Code) are Noctis Lux, Cobalt2, feelgood, Monokai Pro, and New Moon. With light themes I use Cascadia Code 400 weight, with dark themes I use Office Code Pro 300 weight.

Aurora Borealis? At this time of night? In this operating system and localized entirely within your terminal?

Третья радиарторская улица 🤔🤔🤔 Хороший нейминг был у улиц в Союзе ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

GRUVBOX GANG

wpgtk uses pywal but also has the ability to "auto adjust" which, If I have understood correctly makes the eight pywal colors into 16. Not by doing anything fancy mathematically, but a definite improvement. Iosevka = The best set of fonts.

Yes, The chosen one, This is what I was waiting for.

Twilight is also good color scheme, more like "warmer" version of Nord. Use in vim/sublime/terminals for 4+ years. Ideal for night sessions.

if you can could you upload a video about how you manage your audio through linux, if you use dsp corrections. I find this very hard to grasp.

>no mention of monokai i trusted you

Hello Wolfgang, as far as your diclaimer went about accoustic panels go I was say get some of those accoustic Ceiling Tiles full panel size and place them around the room? that may help you out.

Dude, any content for you is good, I don't care if is just pure SP, I love it, also, wow I can't believe you also love Nord, what it calls my attention is that I ALSO love solarize, some type of pattern maybe? Anyway, I didn't imagine nord would be in this video, and that makes me happy, can't wait for part 2

taking lore to judge a color scheme is a first time for me. lol - thumbs up

haha, watched this video out of curiosity and the Nagatoro reference made my day! thanks for this laughter!

You missed the chance to turn on the light and then just blast the Fugue in D minor to really set the spooky tone of Dracula lol - would have been really funny!

Solarized light gang 🤙

I really like this Gruvbox-Fork although it is only available for vim and is horrible to port, but it works quite well along actual gruvbox

I do like light themes (including Solarized). How dare you! Hahaha! :D I gave you an upvote for the cool vid, tho. Also thanks for sharing Gruvbox, I installed it, the light version is cool!

Calling Solarized light terrible? How dare you? No but seriously, while I use the dark variant almost exclusively I think the light one is underrated and actually a lot better in lighter environments where the dark one can become unreadable in extreme cases. But thanks for showing gruvbox, it looks really great as well.

The ought to be nord aurora illustration looks in fact more like solorized than anything.

I had no idea these color schemes had documentation lmao.

I am one of "those" solarized guys. I really like it.

I think Nord looks pretty good on MacOS, but so-so no other platforms. I've found the blue tint to be tiring and headache inducing also, still it is not as bad as dracula, maybe that one was made for old washed out TN panels? Gruvbox is not so pretty but very easy on the eyes. I'm using chalk from base16 terminal and zenburn personally. After trying out dozens.

I really like solarized light when I want a light environment, jerk. Lol. Thanks for pointing out Nord! I am trying it now in KDE and it looks nice AND whoever made the preset did a great job and not setting Too much transparency (which I normally never like, but this is nice). I did set the green shade to #75be73 instead though. But that's because I have a color blindness issue where certain shades of green look almost exactly like yellows...not easy when reading Ansible output

monokai? I don't use it myself (I'm a vim user and I just don't like how it looks on vim), but ik it's avaliable basically everywhere, so it would score high in that category at least.

I found Everforest Enchanted in Obsidian and love it's warm dark tones. In general I'm another huge Nord fan. For Gnome there are a lot of variations of it. Unfortunately, I had a lot of problems to get it working consistently on all my programs and finally switched back to stock dark Adwaita.

My personal favorite is Tempus Future, from the Tempus Themes family by Protesilaos Stavrou

You can use egg cartons if you want to go down the ghetto route as a substitute for acoustic panels.

New intro better but i like when there is no intro.

Dracula is a very good color theme.

shades-of-purple (rigellute) = stunning cult hit of a color scheme.

Hey, can we get an update video on the same topic?

You just opened a big can of worms. Btw, your opinion about KDE's Breeze theme (and Breeze Dark)?

hey, hows the hackingtosh holding up ?

May I ask for some help? My gruvbox looks exactly like the one morhetz said is wrong - but his documentation is nonsense, I don’t know how to fix that at all

13:06 хорошая пикча)

I'm into the oceanic next, but will check nord when I'll get tired, thanks!

What I don't like about Nord is the low contrast for comments in code. Those can be important to read...

Would have liked to see the schemes on screen for much much longer. Would have preferred more colour schemes compared too, like maybe 20, and review them quicker and less detailed.

Best for me would be a Nord theme but with different colors instead of different shades of blue. I love the palette and pastel colors, but having everything blue makes it so hard to read in my opinion

monokai is all you need

Monokai should be in the next video for sure 👌

I need a color scheme that doesn't get destroyed when red light or f.lux kicks in. In general I don't like the color schemes that use colors on the blue/violet end of the spectrum, they can really be exhausting at night.

Man I didn't even realize solarized had such a reputation, I just picked it from a list of other themes because I thought it looked kind of nice.

Aww, so you basically imply Solarized won that? WTF 😂 In all seriousness though, I've seen Nord for the first time and it's freaking awesome. I'm in Nord gang now!

What other themes have websites like Dracula and Nord? Curious to discover more

you dont need expensive acustic panels, just put those cardboard egg container packages on the walls

I subscribed when I saw 'lore' I like that kind of stuff. A LOT!

If you did a **sigh** at the beginning of the video it looks like you did a KZfaq generic apology video

Call me an abomination if you want but Solarized Light is my favorite color scheme

how do I install gruvbox on Mac OS for my terminal? I'm so lost

I use Solarized on most of my systems (mostly Linux). On Windows, it was a bit of pain to get it working correctly. Putty was easy enough though tedious as it required using the registry editor and cut/paste of the color scheme for each host. I have a lot of hosts, but not enough to figure out how to script it in Powershell. Installing the theme on the Windows command prompt and WSL was an absolute PITA. All said, once I finally got Solarized installed, I found it the easiest on my eyes and eye fatigue is definitely better than with the default 1980's console theme.

Where do you get your wallpapers from?

I´ll use NORD. Tanks for the review.

To which camera did you upgrade?

Hey, Wolfgang. Just a little mistake. His name is ZeNo, not ZeRo. Btw, thanks for this video.

What is the wallpaper at 13:13 (the purple and blue one)? Can't find it in the wallpaper's folder...

I'm really impressed by this video, it is probably THE best theme discussion I've come across in months. As a frequent theme-hopper (I like to keep things fresh), I have done quite some extensive research in many themes, and I agree with your theme choices and verdicts almost 100 per cent.

Is OneDark considered a color scheme? Well, as a theme (though some apps list it as colorscheme) it's very saturated and makes it easy to distinguish colors on a TN laptop screen.

My favourite is the Xterm misc fonts and default black background and colours! Fight me!

i like solarized but is a mess on truecolor terminal, the autocomplete box become pink and the text onside is pink, and the zsh auto suggest color is become invisible, so i jump to gruvbox and dracula. Nord, try it one time is too boring for me, so many color become too dim for my tast, just personal tast at this point. Found a solarized name "NeoSolarized" on github that support truecolor, I can use solarized again.

hey dude! how to install themes?

You khow how when you are talking about colors you need to show them? The splash in the begining doesn't count. In fact these color swatches are so tiny that evaluating the theme is hard.

Now i Have Shifted to Onedark

Did you change your thinkpad to something new?
